Both sides wore black armbands bearing the tribute during their Armistice Day match last Friday

They made the decision despite being warned the poppy breached a ban on “political” symbols. Falklands veteran Simon Weston raged: “This is pathetic from Fifa. The poppy is not political — but it looks like Fifa want to make it political by doing all these petty things.
“But you’ve got to admire both Scotland and England for doing what they did. If we don’t make these stands then we’re forgetting the fallen.”

Poppy Scotland boss Mark Bibbey said he was “surprised and disappointed” at Fifa’s move.

Fifa gave no indication of how long fans will have to wait for the probe’s outcome. Punishments could include fines or even points deductions in the World Cup qualifying group.

The SFA has already said it does not believe it broke any rules.

A Sun petition calling for the sides to be allowed to wear poppies gathered 317,000 names and our campaign was backed by celebs and PM Theresa May. Gordon Strachan’s men lost the Group F match 3-0.
